Vast Data Launches Community for Advancing AI

AI data platform company Vast Data is launching an AI-focused community initiative for practitioners to develop and advance applications for innovative and economic growth.

The initiative, known as Cosmos, will provide an AI community platform for developers to work together and navigate potential options that they can implement. The community will have real-time communication and collaboration platforms for all parties to unlock new insights about the technology. It will also assemble practitioners from many sectors into a singular ecosystem and allow for them to share their knowledge through sessions and events hosted by industry insiders and experts. Many of these experts and early participants come from not only Vast Data, but Nvidia, Cisco, CoreWeave, Core42, NEA, Impetus and an assortment of other technology providers.
